Oke, no tree stumps, a river bed in front of you that runs across.
Probably lots of weed, and tourist paddling about.
Lots of cats, if you use piles of fishmealboillies and if they are hungry, they eat anything.
Lots of mosquitos, and some shade to hide from the sun in august.
And hopefully if you got things right, some carp.
On youtube some movies of fishing on chanty, so you can see what you can expect.

Don't underestimate the mosquitoes. They are on another level out there.

Have a look further down this thread. I'm sure bait quantities have been talked about before.

10 is out on the Cornee and only accessible by boat - so if that's ok, I'd go there over 48.
1 & 2 on the North, fished 1 a couple of years ago and loved it, didn't catch anything big (although had plenty) the swim is full of features and I've no doubt theres some whoppers in there somewhere. 2 there is a youtube vid out there of a couple of big fish from this swim. Both easily accessible.

If you have the chance of dropping peg 24 and go in another peg sooner, dont hesitate. Peg 24 is a s... peg in september and a waste of time in mine opinion. You are blocked by anglers fishing from 25.

Peg 48 produces fish not at far range, as they swim by goinn in and at the bay.

So my friend done it wrong and land 80 pounder with 4 backleads from 450m range, plus many other fish from Der
two other friendsdoing same here with good results may you dont know long pole with hook at the end to grab your line from snags, but if not thats the first thing to have on your boat to fish at snaggy lakes

Then you got a winning tactic, go for it and land a 80 pounder yourself. When are you going and witch peg are you fishing?
